He ascended not into heaven to leave us here beneath to rot in our furrows, but to open us the gate, and by taking possession in our name, to gather us to Him.

John Calvin

So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man’s blood; see to it yourselves.”  And all the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”  Then he released for them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.

Matthew 27:24-26
The English Standard Version

The victory which was death’s is now ours…Victory in an open court of law, the high court of heaven.

Robert Candlish
